I personally haven't decided to set any up yet, but I will offer myself as a moderator for this thread. If you have a set up gathering or photoshoot let me know and I will list it in *this* post so that all you have to do is keep this one bookmarked. I will keep it organized by day and time.

I don't care when or where, but we HAVE TO HAVE a cosplay.c--I mean, "online cosplayers" gathering. Since the one at AnimeFest fizzled, we've gotta get it right this time.

Also, without doubt, we need a Bleach one as well, just for the shear amount of Bleachers(XD) that are from this site alone.

I'm hoping to get a gathering of Nana (or even Ai Yazawa) cosplays on Saturday. Not sure about the time and location, but I know that besides myself, there's another Nana Osaki and a Hachi.

I'm part of a small group that cosplay together and I know we have a few 'meetups' we would like to do. We just haven't figured out any real times for them yet. The only definite group we have is for Saturday and that's because we're going to do a skit for it. Here's what we have and if anyone can think of days and times that would benifit those who might like to join us that would be great.

TURKS: Conga Line(s) led by the Rufus Shinra's that will be there. Our Rufus is already a leader of one line and possibly the music as well.

Kingdom Hearts: I'm not really part of that one since I'm actually going to be a Dancer Nobody, but there might be a hall skit involved somewhere in this during the meetup.

Weiss Kreuz: Hopefully this time there will be more then just me(Omi), Ken, and Farfarello roaming the halls of a Houston convention.

Xiaolin Showdown: Saturday (All day or just late Saturday) Our contest group. The cosplay contest group will be together for most of the time, but if there are others of us out there that would be neat since we are slowly amassing a larger group as the weeks go by.

So aside from a good chunk of Saturday (It's going to be a bit to get our Rude to transform into yellow monk) We can provide some entertainment for people if they have specific times for this. Tentavily we're thinking of a schedule like this.

Weiss Kreuz: Friday

Xiaolin Showdown and TURKS/Kingdom Hearts: Saturday

Kingdom Hearts/TURKS: Sunday

As you can see TURKS(FF VII) and Kingdom Hearts is one we were planning on following the majority on so if anyone has any idea or prefrence on that we would greatly appreciate it.

*Goes and hides for being really new and unknowing if this is right or not*

Quoted for TRUTH! Also, why not do an ACDF photoshoot while we're at it?

09-25-2006, 07:25 PM

Well, if I have to pick one, I'd concentrate on putting together an "online cosplayers" gathering. Then after that we can always splinter off to a little ACDF gathering. Maybe even snag a few recruits from the online gathering, hmm?

P.S. Ooo, I just thought of that KH vs. everyone else picture from AF. Maybe we could do a DFWCS vs ACDF pic? I'd like to see how the two groups stack up against each other.

Ludger03

09-25-2006, 07:42 PM

ok i noticed there going to be a few d-grayman people so i will official say that, i will gathered them up..

D-grayman
date: saturday
time : 10 am.
location: TBA
im going to look for a good spot and not so complicated so people wont get lost.

any d-grayman cosplayer interested give me a pm to discuss the place*

I crapped out on going to the video game shoot at AF, but I'd try my damndest to make this one.

09-25-2006, 10:01 PM

I was talking to my friends who are doing a Roxas and Sora(KH II) and they wouldn't mind going to a gathering. ^_^ So if anyone wants to meet up like Saturday morning-afternoonish that would work. They woldn't be able to attend around the cosplay masq. because we are doing a Gravitaion skit.

And I totally agree with either an online cosplayer or c.com meetup. That would be cool. ^___^

astillar

09-25-2006, 10:40 PM

Yeah, we can't have a c.com photoshoot, so it'll just be an "online cosplayer" gathering. Technicalities . . .

Seeing as how there's going to be.. *counts on fingers.. * uh.. yeah, I think the ACDF would win. But I don't know for sure. But yeah, DFWCS ftw. Cuz I totally missed the one at AnimeFEST.

Uhh.. PS: The KH shoot is going to be sometime on Saturday. I think. I'll update if necessary.

Can I request doing Online cosplayers on Friday evening...becuase OMG my Saturday is completely full. If it's held on Saturday there is probably no way I can make it.

PockyFairy

09-26-2006, 12:07 PM

Are there enough Card Captor cosplayers to have a gathering? If not, then maybe an general CLAMP gathering? >.>

BTW, where are the Naruto and Bleach shoots going to be at?
As well, I've seen people suggesting days or just ideas for gatherings. I'll post them as soon as I get confirmation on theme and atleast time/day.

I don't know yet, I'm going to have to be genericaly accurate and I'm trying to decide how to do that without anyone knowing what the layout is like...maybe I'll e-mail the con and ask them

AS FOR CCS
OMFG YES
the only problem there is my Sakura is wedged into a full day of costumes so I would only be available in it either right before cosplay lineup or imediately after the masquerade...
so it probably won't happen T____T
OH
maybe early Sunday morning

Pharaoh Atem

10-04-2006, 03:25 PM

The sky bridge is a great place to meet. xD The only reason why the Video Game shoot is meeting at one of the Entrances (probably entrance A) is because there's gonna' be so many of us.

I'll let you know when I'm ready to confirm where the video game shoot is meeting, should be soon.

I just realized that, while we have a Video Game photoshoot, we don't have a Final Fantasy one! ><; And here I thought those were essential to any convention.

I think we should have one! Maybe on Friday, since Sat. is just chop-full of shoots and other events?

Yeah-- Friday would be perfect, 'cause that's when I know we'll have our YRP group. Err.. I remember looking on the Amano thread and I didn't see a time for the contest. When will that be? We can have it an hour or so before line-up to make sure everyone is finished in time.

I agree!! But sadly I won't have Misa ready in time, but my boyfriend will have Light on Friday and Saturday and I know he wouldn't mind going to a Death Note gathering. If there are more people interested then how about Friday afternoonish...?

Dude, let's just have the Final Fantasy shoot at 3:30 on Friday. It doesn't conflict too much with the Inuyasha shoot, and it'll give everyone plenty of time to make it to the Amano Showcase if they have to change.

Any conflicts with that? Right now, s'all I could think of. ^_^

We'll all meet up there, and by then I'll have found a place to have the shoot. So have your cameras ready! ^_~

may i suggest that entrance D-C is good becuase its close to the hilton hotel and there actually three skybridges. two coming from the parking and one from the hotel. but you'll see the difference becuase the hotel skybridge is bigger but it has first and seocnd level put together making it one skybridge.

its not really hard to get lost since from the hotel or on the street you can look up from where the skybridge are. and the entrance is on that corner too

For the most part, it's all the same shoot. Unafiliated cosplayers will either pick a side or form a third opponent.
